Stay here: Cheval Blanc Paris

What’s the deal?

This Seine-side sanctuary in the French capital, luxury group LVMH’s first urban hotel, blends contemporary luxury with epicurean delights, showcasing a modern take on a Parisian residence. Cheval Blanc Paris is home to rooftop bar Céleste and five dining venues, including Plénitude, Chef Arnaud Donckele’s three-Michelin-starred shrine to gastronomy, plus new “four hands” Japanese restaurant Hakuba.

Why stay?

The bathroom is especially impressive, with a spacious bathtub and walk-in hammam-style shower. For hotel facilities, The Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris is as beautifully luxurious as you’d expect, and joins a swimming pool lit by a virtual fresco of Paris landmarks by artist Oyoram, a top-tier fitness suite and, for the youngest guests, a playroom inspired by Jules Verne’s oceanic world among the hotel’s exceptional amenities. It is a destination that unlocks the door to a world of bespoke experiences, such as an intimate Seine cruise guided by the captain’s anecdotes of the city of love.

The delicious breakfast treats from pastry chef Maxime Frédéric . The pain au chocolat is surely one of the best in the city.
